At this point, I'm baffled to the "point" they are making with what it is they are getting at by shitposting. @dadibrokeit this is the informal term used for their posts because it serves no purpose and is a waste of space.

Looks like @dadibrokeit got to this one

@thequacker, yes, this is definitely spam. It looks like spammers are using language models to create these kinds of questions. If you find more like this, please drop them here.
@krisrodriguez Another one showed up https://www.ifixit.com/User/4389556/Gizm...

@krisrodriguez So even the spammers are just using ChatGPT to post this garbage now. At least ChatGPT spam has a identifier.
by Nick
@thequacker, let's hope this doesn't turn into a game of whack-a-mole.
@Nick, yes, this seems to be the case. I'll talk to @amber about this to see if there is anything we can do internally to catch these kinds of spammers early.

@oldturkey03, what a haul! Thank you for finding all of these. I live for the day when we don't have so many spammers, but until then, it's awesome to have you keeping a lookout.
